Find an Obituary

We Feel you have a right to know:

When choosing a funeral
home, you may want to research whether or not the business is owned by a local
family or run by a large corporation. There is a difference.

Over the
past several years, large multi-national organizations have been purchasing
funeral homes at an alarming rate. The early nineties saw hundreds of family
operated funerals homes across North America brought into the fold of large
multi-national firms. Today there are many funeral service providers to choose
from. What you may not know is that not all funeral homes are owned by local
families. While they may have been operating in your community for years, and
their names have not changed, some funeral homes have sold out to national and
even international conglomerates.

These
funeral service conglomerates keep the original family name on their businesses
because they know that at our greatest time of need you are more likely to turn
to a local family you feel you can trust than to a national chain you know
nothing about.

Is
Gloversville Funeral Service independently owned or is it operated by a large
chain or corporation?

Gloversville
Funeral Service is locally owned and operated by the Mackey Family. We are not owned or operated by a large corporation as are some of the local funeral homes in Gloversville.

Why are
family-owned funeral homes the right choice?

Gloversville
Funeral Service is family owned and has a single focus; providing the best quality service and value to our families and
friends. We are not governed by corporate mandates or driven to increase
profits. We know that our success depends upon how we treat each and every
family we serve.

It is our
goal at Gloversville Funeral Service not only to satisfy your needs but to
exceed your expectations.
